1: NC

2: NC and TR

3: NC, TR and Vanu

[Toaster]

Think of it as a constant pop bonus to XP, which can get significant quickly.

NC FOR LIFE!  FREEDOM!  SPACE AMERICA!

All other empires are jealous of the Screaming Freedom Eagles.

[Sordid]

I assume that the freedom eagles are screaming because they are on fire?
I keep wavering between TR and NC. I like everything about the NC apart from the ridiculous color scheme and the fact that they're corporate terrorists.

[Toaster]

Right-o.

You know you want some bonus checks.

[Jim Groovester]

No, no, join the Terran Republic, for the glory of the Terran Republic.

It also has moving nationalistic music instead of Firefly wannabe guitar twangs all the time.

[Duuvian]

Goon outfit on Mattherson is open recruiting. The right honorable AdmiralSnuggles declared it's title 'Operation StrongBabby'. Everyone gets officer rank so you can invite your pals. It's in my opinion a good tactic to make new Goon Swarms to counter TR and VS coordination and form a core outfit for the NC to swarm around. Goons are willing to shoulder the noble burden of shepards of the public squads who would accept both their wisdom and even the rare act of folly, along with publically sharing the burden of education of new players as to what weapons to get with certs. Leader types are also welcome and can run their own squads or platoons independantly if they'd like, though that would almost defeat the purpose.

Anyone is welcome as long as people joining can tolerate the words individuals say on the Goon's easy to use voicechat program of choice. They seem like cool bros to me, and really aren't so out there if you've used the internet for long enough to have studied the more arcane of Memes on cold nights with only your neckbeard to keep you warm.

Also there is a music server to listen to optionally that lets you vote to choose what songs to play.

So I bought the 250 cert shotgun, and only now do I realize the full extent of Mercenary's suckiness. My kill rate has easily tripled, and I didn't even get slug ammo yet (11 certs short ATM). I mean, seriously, compared to even this cheapest of shotguns the default NC carbine is a freaking BB gun.

[Kanil]

plz, it's just a sidegrade -- default weapons are fine. Also, pump shot OP, but auto shot balanced.

People are idiots. Especially the pumpshot whiners. Especially them. Presumably now that autoshots are so cheap, they'll just call all shotguns OP.

On an unrelated note: Just played on Indar, with Vanu at 50% pop, NC 11%. Max pop bonus + double XP weekend results in your daily service ribbons giving 2400 exp each. Made 110 certs in a little over a half hour, with only 20 kills. Sweet!

[miauw62]

I'd go as far as saying that beta probably was the most balanced time.

[Reyn]

I'd go as far as saying that beta probably was the most balanced time.

Back when rocketpods, zephyrs and HE ruled the world? Yeah, no.

Hm, good point.

[SharpKris]

so does Bay12 have an outfit or anything? how do i join?

[DJ]

plz, it's just a sidegrade -- default weapons are fine.

I have to disagree. With carbine, if I ran into an enemy around the corner, and we both opened fire, I would die 9 out of 10 times. With shotgun, it's like 7:3 for me. And yeah, I know that shotgun is a close quarters weapon, but Mercenary isn't any quarters weapon because it's DPS at any range is just terrible.

[Sonlirain]

So i redeemed my Nvidia code expecting 2500 SC.
Instead o got a Circuit board camo for infantry armor and guns + a Zephyr gun for the liberator (a unique (?!) version with a shortened barrel).

Oh and a 7 day exp boost.

I'm not sure if i'm disapointed or not.

Also i started certing into the mossi.
I'm planning to get a racer airframe to zip in and out of danger zones.
Oh and i killed 2 reavers ever before certing into it.

Mercenary isn't any quarters weapon because it's DPS at any range is just terrible.

But its first shell does more damage than any stock TR gun right?

[DJ]

Dunno, because a single shell doesn't do any appreciable damage.

I was being bitterly sarcastic. The Mercenary is fucking trash.
